Nevertheless, I was told that clover-like plants like the Creeping wood sorrel (Oxalis corniculata L.) can be found growing sporadically in open fields, lawns in parks, roadsides and housing estates. I wonder why I hadn't noticed them?
So I started taking closer looks into the green patches along the path home this morning and true enough I spotted the creeping wood sorrel!
But these are really small patches so the chances of finding a four-leaf creeping wood sorrel which only occurs in 10,000 three-leafers is akin to - Zero. *Frowned* Hmm... maybe if I hit the open fields, there could be bigger patches of say at least a few thousands of them?
Still into the idea of finding a four-leaf clover (or a creeping wood sorrel), I chanced upon an interesting read on how to find a 4 leaf clover in 5 minutes! by fourleafclover.
She shared 9 steps from finding to framing the clover, and made it seem so easy! Hahaa... I'll bring my Sumikko gurashi diary book to press the four-leaf creeping wood sorrel I've found.

Kirin had requested chicken chop for dinner for a while. But I hadn't managed to find a pack labelled "Chicken chop" at the supermart (I did saw packs of "Pork chop" though). So I had cooked chicken breasts, chicken thighs and today I bought a pack of "Chicken fillets" for dinner.
I got a sweet corn on the cob (Kirin's dictionary says a chicken chop dish should come with this). Ignorant Yang never knew there's silk to be removed, after peeling off the leaves wrapping the sweet corn. Another new discovery.
Read this from the Hickery Holler Farm where the corn on the cob was wrapped in foil and cooked perfectly after 6 hours of low and slow cooking. I didn't have heavy duty aluminium foil so I decided to lay the corn, unwrapped, over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Today, I gonna trust low and slow cooking - the secret to great braising, according to chef Dave Zino. So I braised the chicken fillets siting on potato wedges and blanched napa cabbage in mushroom sauce, with a sweet corn laid over the top, for 3 hours 15 mins.
"Who says the number 4 is unlucky?" I heard the four-leaf clover protesting.
